From: Dissecting the role of low-complexity regions in the evolution of vertebrate proteins
Conservation of low-complexity regions (LCRs) in chordate homologous protein families. LCRs are indicated in red. Only the region of the alignment containing the LCR is shown. a) Example of conserved chordate LCR enriched in lysines. Corresponds to methionyl aminopeptidase 2 (Ensembl Protein Identifier ENSP00000325312 in humans). b) Example of mammalian-specific LCR enriched in alanines. Corresponds to alkylation repair 5 (Ensembl Protein Identifier ENSP00000261650 in humans).
